What are your absolute most favorite three movies in the whole world? And I'm not talking about movies you'd recommend to other people -- just what you've enjoyed (or connected with in some way) the most.

Curious to see if the results match up with what I'd expect from various posters... I think it tells you a lot about a person. Kind of a personality snapshot. But I could be wrong... for all I know, tami might say Clerks, Porky's, and Last Action Hero and Zim's could be When Harry Met Sally, Down with Love, and What Dreams May Come.

Here're mine:

The Royal Tenenbaums
Adaptation
The Fifth Element

Bets for most popular answers: Animal House, Matrix, Star Wars.

Haha, yeah... took me a while to decide. But it's something I do when I'm bored in class -- try to come up with my own personal top ten lists for various things. Movies, songs, books, food, games, etc. Of all the subjects, I think movies say the most about a person.

I'll have to watch Saving Private Ryan some time... always dismissed it as "another war movie."

Off the top of my head -

Gladiator
Schlinder's List
Saving Private Ryan.


If I had more time to think about this, the list might change.

Really? The one with James Garner?



Yep :) James Garner and James Cromwell are two of my favorite actors, but I just really really like this movie. Can't really say why, I have just always loved it.
